"I understand the 10-day rule and I understand what the state Supreme Court's done, but it has to be backed up with resources,” said state police chief Pete Kassetas.

A case of note that was recently tossed involved a downtown gentlemen’s club. A man said two bouncers kicked and beat him, and the whole thing was caught on tape. But because their case didn’t move through the courts fast enough, it was dismissed.

District Attorney Kari Brandenburg asked for $2 million in help to hire eight more attorneys and eight paralegals, she’s getting $200,000.

Some state lawmakers say they have other priorities such as education and the Children, Youth and Families Department.

"We're doing the best we can with very limited new money, and we've geared that money with making sure our children are safe and giving a boost to the public education system,” said Nate Gentry (R), majority leader in the state’s House of Representatives.

Still, some lawmakers worry that without the extra funding to keep up with the mandates, criminals will walk. The budget will go to the state Senate where it may take weeks to make its way through committees.

Brandenburg said she wishes she’d gotten the boost she asked for, but added she’s grateful for the increase she’s getting.
